Great news. The models are there, if you want to train your own racist-bot-001 people are more than welcome to.

I find it fascinating the level of angst people have that open ai hasn’t let them generate racist, violent, or pornographic materials. I would build the guard rails too. I can’t stop you from doing what you want to do on your own dime, nor would I want to. But I don’t feel compelled to let people use tools I build for evil, in whatever way I construe evil.

I find it fascinating that so many people have such an interest in making a bot say something racist. this thing is a very powerful tool. and the best use they can come up with is "make it be racist"?

He's a programmer. They re cheaper than scrooge. They'll write a tool themselves in 6 months rather than spend 10 dollars. Idk why but programmers are the cheapest people on earth in regards to programming tools. I bought Intellij idea for $400 like 12 years ago and got made fun of at work even though it made me substantially faster than eclipse.

This is partly because in English we literally lack the word required. Free is both “gratis” and “libre”. Software should be free, but software does not need to be free. The lack of distinction on this term plagues the English speaking world in more ways than frugal programmers. See: the entire political spectrum in the US

Can you be more specific?

Suppose a new word was introduced. What would the dictionary definition be?

https://github.com/waylaidwanderer/node-chatgpt-api This repo talks about it.

This feels like a recipe for getting your OpenAI account banned, and probably fairly tbh. I wonder if the fact that the API may expect user tokens, but this doesn't provide them may be correlated with the bug people are experiencing with getting other peoples completions.

> the bug people are experiencing with getting other peoples completions.

I hadn't heard about this, but I think I got one! I had a completion that really had me scratching my head.

Anyway I agree, if OpenAI is the kind of company to ban people, this is probably a good way to get banned.

You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?

This is one of those puzzling things to me. You own your life - why not spend your own money for the things that make you and your life better? Who cares? I worked at a job where I had a small, crappy monitor. I made decent cash. I just bought a large decent monitor and brought it into work. I ended up using it for many years. My life was significantly better. I've done that at several jobs since then, and NEVER regr…

I've been using ChatGPT pretty consistently during the workday and have found it useful for open ended programming questions, "cleaning up" rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text, etc. $20/month useful is questionable though, especially with all the filters. My "in between" solution has been to configure BetterTouchTool (Mac App) with a hotkey for "Transform & Replace Selection with Javascript". This i…

ChatGPT struggles with out-of-distribution problems. However, it excels at solving problems that have already been solved on the internet/GitHub. By connecting different contexts, ChatGPT can provide a ready solution in just a few seconds, saving you the time and effort of piecing together answers from various sources. But when you have a problem that can't be found on Google, even if it's a simple one-liner or one function, then in my experience ChatGPT will often produce an incorrect solution. If you point out what's wrong, it will acknowledge the error and then provide another incorrect answer.

$20 puts it way out of my price range. It's useful, but when I've been averaging around twenty queries a day and somewhat frequently get back hallucinated responses, it's not worth that price. I wish there was a pay-as-you-go or a lower tier offering.

So you are doing something like 400 queries a month and the aggregate value of all those responses is less than $20 to you? I've got to ask, why bother querying it at all?

Mostly because it's free. But it clearly has some value to me, mostly as an engine for figuring out what terms I _actually_ need to search Google for. And if they offered a tier closer to the amount of value I get from it, I'd probably pay that.

I want it in a gleaming metal box, self-contained on whatever is the 2033 version of a raspberry pi. I want it equipped with speech-to-text and text-to-speech. The box is featureless except for three rotary dials for "sass", "verbosity" and "sarcasm". It can be a family heirloom, lovingly ridiculed as grandpa's toy AI, to be taken out of an attic on christmases in 2050.

You're pretty close. Eventually grandpa will be in the box. Our life's biodata will stream into the cloud as it happens through ancillary means (phones, watches, biometric sensors in retail stores), and the moment we die, our animatronic proxy will be ordered and arrive after an appropriate grieving period. You don't really have to live forever if your robot understudy can continue your legacy. Imagine the recurring…

There was a Black Mirror episode on something like that.

Is there never going to be a version with less restrictions and filters? That would really be worth paying for.

Never gonna come from 'OpenAI'. ChatGPT is deliberately handicapped in order to milk money from corporate America. An unrestricted LLM trained on all data of humanity (including all the pirated books/research papers) would be one crazy beast. Hopefully some rich anarchist/maverick actually builds something like it. That untamed model would unveil the true extent of what AI can really do. Till then we will have to wai…

This could be the next project for SciHub?
